LANCASTER, Calif. (KABC) -- A man was fatally shot after allegedly breaking into a Lancaster home. 

The shooting happened around 6:45 a.m. Sunday in the 45100 block of Loma Vista Drive. 

Los Angeles County Sheriff's detectives say the man got into the home through one of the downstairs rear windows and walked into an upstairs bedroom.
